WORKINGMEN,s HOMES.

In commenting the GLOBES position
with reference to the desirability of aid
ing workingmen to secure homes i'll the
cities where they live, and in agreeing
with the assertion that such a proceed
ing infallibly results in the greater con-
ServatiSm of a city's working popula-
ton, and in the decrease of labor trou-
bleS, the Omaha World calls attention
to the fact that some such arrangement
is needed as much in Omaha as in st.
Paul. 1t further coIrobOrates the
GLOBES declarations by asserting that
the conditions are such in that city as to
produce diSquiet and discomfort among
the working people, which would
in a large degree be removed
should the workingmen be enabled
to own their homes. Our contemporary
then calls upon capitalists to build resi-
denceS which tenants can buy on easy
terms, and points out that such scheme
would be as profitable to the capitalists
as it would be beneficial to the working
men. The appeal is likely to meet with
a favorable response. st. Paul should
not allow Omaha to outdo her in this
matter. 1t is of even greater Importance
here, where their number is greater,
that the workingmen should be treated
with more consideration. AS the GLOBE
took occasion to remark once before, it
ought not to be so difficult to persuade
capitalists to put money in their purses
even if they are not moved by philan-
thropic impulses.

PROVISION GAMBLERS.

The gamblers in coffee and wheat, or
at least oue-half Of them, have received
a severe blow during the last day or two
which the general public will not much
regret to see fall. Though the friends
of the grain gambling system of Specu-
latim have declared that their manipu-
latiOns do not affect the price of the
commodity in which they do their
alleged dealing SO far as the consumer
is concerned, their argument will
hardly hold good with reference to cash
wheat, to say nothing Of the demorali-
zation produced generally by artificial
fluctuations in prices The value, of
course. will always remain the same,
but it is in the difficulty experienced by
the consumer in securing the commodity
at It's. real value that the trouble
comes in. The manipulation of
the coffee market is an instance.
The dealing having been largely with
the supply that had already reached the
market, an artificial scarcity was soon
produced, which the consumer immedi-
ately felt in the increased price he was
compelled to pay for the fragrant berry.
That the pool has been broken to the
great loss of most of the people who
united in manipulating the price of
coffee will meet with no regret from the
people at large. If. the law can reach
such a complex thing as railway traffic
in its regard for the public interest, it
ought to be able to take cognizance of
the baneful features of provision

Too Much Money.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE count
ing OF the cash in the United States
treasury, which is now in progress, has
developed the fact that the vault capac-
ity is entirely inadequate, for the, safe
handling of the silver. The silver vault
was filled to its utmost. capacity some
time ago, and there still remained about
s,0O0,000 standard dollars which. for
want Of a better place, were piled in
piles in the passageway leading to the
vaults. In making the count these bags
had to be removed to outside vaults,
where they now remain, protected from
outside interference by nothing but a
plain board Partition They therefore
have to be guarded at ali times by
watchmen employed in the building.

just as thorough projections, His
occupation should. be- relieved of
as many Of the dangers attending it
as possible. and if the roads refuse todo
this Of their own accord they should be
forced to do it byi law There have been
over 1000 patents granted for auto

OF development OF some self-acting de-
vice for Joining cars has not yet been
reached, but it will do very well to ac-
cept the best of the present inventions
temporarily and then wait for some
thing better. 1t is the duty of the mas
ter car builders to make selection.
After that it will be the duty of the
various legislatures to compel such
roads as are dilatory to adopt it. We do
not believe the Minnesota legislature
will be very backward in thus forcing
to have more care for the life and limb
of an employe whose occupation is an
extremely arduouS one at best.

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, June 14.-In 1872
Grover Cleveland, when sheriff of Erie
county, bought 100 acres of farming land
near the village of East Aurora, and al
though he remained the owner of this
property for more than six years he
never had the curiosity to drive a dis
tance of twenty miles to see it,. In 1878
j. III. Hamlin- purchased the farm and
began to raise blooded horses. The
Buffalo, New York and PHILADELPHIA
railroad reached Aurora that wear and
the farm. which Grover Cleveland
had sold for $50. an acre adj
vanced to- 500. Mr.. Hamlin was
so successful with his stock raising
that to-day he has over 800 thoroughbred
colts that at two years old are valued at
an average OF $500. This farm eniOys
the distinction of being the home of
MambrinO King, said to be the hand
soonest horse in the world. When CIeve-
land was candidate for mayor of Buff
falOw Hamlin was one of his warmest
supporters, though he often said that a
man who owned so good q property as
the village farm and would part with it
for $50 an acre was not deserving of
much. He continued, however, to ad-
yocate him through his gubernatoraI
and presidential campaigns. 1t is not
Improbable that the. village stock farm
stood in the way of James G. BIaine,s
political ambition not being gratifed.

STRAY SUNBEAMs.

A correspondent who expresses indig-
nation that the GRANT monument fund
should be of such slow growth, asks the
GLOBE to state whether or not there has
ever been monument erected over the
grave of Gen. LEE, the Confederate
leader, and if so how long after his death
before it was built.
*%
Gen. LEE died at Lexington, Va, on
the morning of Oct. 10, 1870, and was bur-
led three days afterward in the library
room of the chapel of the college over
which he presided. On the day of the
funeral "LEE Memorial association"
was organized and immediate steps
taken to raise funds to erect a monu-
ment over his grave. In April, 1875,
the monument was finished.
The design for the LEE monument was
selected by the wife Of the dead Confed-
crate leader and was a recumbent figure
of Gen. LEE lying asleep ON the field of
battle. The figure and couch. are of
pure white statuary marble and are
mounted on a sarcophagus simple in its
severity Of design, which rests ON a
granite base course. The figure ismore
than life size and rests upon heavily
draped couch, in an attitude of easy re-
pose, the head being elevated to a
natural position, with the face turned
slightly to the right, while the feet are
lightly crossed. The right forearm lies
across the breast, the hand holding by
simple weight the blanket that covers
the lower part Of the body. The left
arm is fully extended along the couch,
the hand resting on the hilt of sword.
The contour of the limbs is plainly seen
through the covering which falls over
the lower part of the body.
~
A mausoleum of brick and limestone
was built adjoining the chapel wherein
Gen. LEE was first buried. In this
mausoleum the remains and monument
were placed. There are twenty-seven
inches in the mausoleum intended for
the accommodation of any of the LEE
family who may hereafter desire to be
buried there. The niche in which the
ashes of Gen. LEE reposeis Immediately

no doubt that Senator SABIN speaks
within bounds in saying that SHERMAN

ton of power, might at any time jeop-
ardiZe their interests. But if SHERMAN

CLEVELAND, and in arace between the
two we think the latter would have
something very much like a walk over
Senator SABIN to the contrary, notwith-
standing. Nor can we agree with the
senator when he says that in the
East Mr.. BLAINE is not even re-
garded as q presidential possibility.
From the anxiety with which his move
mentS are watched by his opponents we
would say that he is regard ed 40 very
dangerous possibility, and one that is
likely to develop into q very strong
probability if the GLOBES forecasts OF
the Northwestern Republican prefer
ence can be taken as an indication OF
the feeling throughout the country. The
man who could claim the strength Mr..
BLAINE possessed in the last conven-
ton can hardly be considered out of the
race when it has only fairly begun.
Senator SABIN and Mr.. SHERMAN'S
other adherents will hardly lull the
BLAINE managers into state Of false
security by such statements. We can
heartily agree with the senator, how
ever, when he says that the issue be-
tween protection and free trade will
probably be the bone of contention dur
ing the next campaign. The Demo
cratS will not hesitate to fight it out on
that line. The intelligent West and the
progressive South know that protection
is but another name for robbery, and
they will be glad of an opportunity to
teach the Republican party that in
championing that sort of cause the
favor of the majority of the people is not
with it. AS between SHERMAN and
protection, CLEVELAND and free trade,
the country would have very little diff

TO the Editor of the Globe:

To the Editor of the Globe:
An ass, who attempts to conceal his
ears over the nom de plume of ''Sol-
dier," writes to morning paper from
Fairmont, in which he deprecates the
idea of the president visiting st. Louis

that city: This specimen, degenerate
scion of the Maltese family, brayS out
as follows in reference to the chief mag
istrate of this great and glorious coun-
try: ''We owe him neither love nor al
legiance. Mr.. Cleveland has perfect
right to visit st. Louis and make him
self ridiculous; so has any man. 1t is
only question of taste. st. Louis has
no right to ask the G. A. r. to be her
guest and then at the same time ask in
a guest to meet us the most distaSteful'

would receive more votes and a better
welcome. [ write this in the
hope that full and free expression of
opinion will deter Mr.. Cleveland from

He is able to pay his bills, and has way
of doing just that very thing. Any fool
can institute comparison between

1t not about time to cease such silly nom

Duluth Fuckers Her IIips..

Duluth journal.
The newspapers are very much wor-
ried over Knute Nelson's announcement
that he will retire from politics at the
end of his present term. The most Of
them construe it to mean that he is out
OF the race for congress, but is almost
certain to be a leading candidate for
governor or United States senator. At
Duluth there is undisguised satisfaction
among the friends of ambitious candi-
dates for congress, and Duluth will no
doubt be so good to all other points in
this district that the next congressman
will be conceded to this city without a
struggle. The Journal will be in the
field for Duluth man every afternoon
and an extra on Saturday when the time
for action does come, and it is fair to
presume the press and people of Duluth
will be united on the main point. But
will they be on the man? That is the
question.
